Best Dramatic Presentation | 1971 | John
The rape scene had nearly a minute and a half deleted from the final cut of the film before release but was included in later DVD releases. The reasoning for the heavy editing was because Lynne Frederick (who was one of the rape victims in the scene) was only 15 at the time and questions of the usage of a body double for Frederick remains a controversial question to this day.
According to Cornel Wilde , the childbirth scene was real. It was done through the arrangements of a pregnant mother and her husband. Filming the moment took place in a nearby hospital and the props and wardrobe were properly sterilized. All expenses for the production of the scene went to the mother and Cornel Wilde delighted the couple by giving them a 16mm copy of the sequence.
Debut film of Lynne Frederick. She beat out over 200 other girls despite having no previous experience in theater, commercials, or film.
Lynne Frederick and Nigel Davenport reunited four years later in another science fiction film Phase IV (1974). Because Davenport had gotten along so well with Frederick in their first film together, he personally recommended Frederick for a role in "Phase VI" when a suitable female actress couldn't be found for the desired role.
According to actress Wendy Richard, who played a supporting role: "It came from a brilliant book, but Cornel Wilde, God rest his soul, I don't think he did it justice when it came to the screenplay. He seemed to go over the top and get some bits of egg on his face."
"Fat Woman: George, do you know what I think caused the virus? It's 'cause them Chinese fertilize everything with human shit! [husband George, sitting by her side, ignores her, so she elbows him] Fat Woman: George, ya hear what I said? George: [turning to look directly at her] Yes, I did. And if it's true, I could sell you to them chinks for a blooming fortune!"
"Pirrie: Besides, the guilty don't deserve to die as quick as the innocent."
